Facilis Descensus Averni's latest album, Отвори Врата Древним, is a hauntingly beautiful blend of folk and black metal. The band's use of traditional instruments such as the flute and accordion adds a unique element to their sound, while the harsh vocals and heavy guitar riffs create a dark and intense atmosphere.
The album's lyrics draw inspiration from ancient Slavic mythology and folklore, adding a sense of mysticism and intrigue to the music. The songs are sung entirely in Bulgarian, which may be a barrier for some listeners, but the emotion conveyed through the vocals transcends language barriers.
The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track blending seamlessly together to create a cohesive and powerful sound. Standout tracks include "Възкресение" and "Огън във вековете", which showcase the band's ability to seamlessly transition between gentle folk melodies and blistering black metal riffs.
